Practical Geometry
Steps of construction:
I. Draw a line segment BE = 4.5 cm.
II. With centre at E and radius = 6 cm, draw an arc.
III. With centre at B and radius = 4.5 cm, draw another arc to intersect the previous arc at T.
Note: All the 4 sides of a rhombus are equal.
IV. Join TB and TE.
V. With centre at T and radius = 4.5 cm, draw an arc on the side opposite to that of B.
VI. With centre at E and radius = 4.5 cm. draw another arc to intersect the previous arc at S.
VII. Join ST and SE
Thus, BEST is the required quadrilateral.

(Construct a quadrilateral ABCD, given that BC = 4.5 cm, AD = 5.5 cm. CD = 5 cm, the diagonal AC = 5.5 cm and diagonal BD = 7 cm.)
Can we draw the quadrilateral by drawing triangle ABD first and then find the fourth point C?
